You could probably fill in the "Owners" field of the Infobox.In the History section, "When they reached the Snow King's throne room, the Ewoks impersonated ice-on-a-stick sellers to get close enough to swipe the scepter." I'm not really sure how this is relevant for the club itself.I think you could add this to Category:Cultural weapons.- Otherwise, looks good. Once again, thanks for your contributions to the barn-burner. Kilson(Let's have a chat) 05:04, August 1, 2011 (UTC)
- Cool, thanks for taking a look, Kilson. As for "owners," it's my understanding that applies to unique items, like individual lightsabers or superweapons, not to "classes" of weapons like this, right? That's why I haven't used it. In this case, the "culture" field seems to handle the association with Iceheads. I could be mistaking the "owners" field, though.
- The owners field was for individuals that were known to use the weapon for an extended period of time. In this case, you should say "a number of Icehead guards and soldiers" and "Wicket" as they all used the weapon or owned the Icehead club at one point. Kilson(Let's have a chat) 16:30, August 1, 2011 (UTC)
- I agree with that, but I still think it only applies to unique items, not types of them. For instance, our article on the DL-44 blaster pistol doesn't list Han Solo in the "owners" field, because Solo owned a specific DL-44. Similarly, compare lightwhip to Lumiya's lightwhip; the latter lists an owner, but the former does not, since it's an article on a type of weapon, not a specific example. Does that make sense? ~Savage 18:02, August 1, 2011 (UTC)
- While what you said for DL-44 and lightwhip are true, neither of those articles are promoted. If you look at Shikkar and Knuckles of the katarn, both have their owners field filled in, and neither are specific weapons. The owners field are for beings that owned one of those weapons, not just if it's a specific example. At least, that is how I take it. Kilson(Let's have a chat) 18:18, August 1, 2011 (UTC)
- I see what you mean. I think it's a bad idea, though. Imagine how crowded the infobox for lightsaber would be if we listed any owner of that type of item! Should we maybe SH or CT this? (Not trying to be a butt; just think maybe broader community input is needed on the question.) ~Savage 18:26, August 1, 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, maybe taking this to the general discussion board on the barn-burner's SH page would be better. Would that be cool with you? And yes, I understand you're just trying to be helpful, I don't take any of this personally. :) Kilson(Let's have a chat) 02:39, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
- OK, I've added a topic for it there. Take a look, and feel free to edit my comments if I misrepresented something! ~Savage 03:21, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

- I tried to add a shred more context about why the Ewok ruse is important; it gets them within range to have the skirmish. I could just as easily cut back and just say they got into the skirmish, though, so let me know if you still think it's TMI. Other than that, A-OK, and thanks again! ~Savage 13:55, August 1, 2011 (UTC)
I think you could just cut out that sentence as it isn't really relevant. You can just say a skirmish started once they infiltrated the palace and go on from there.Kilson(Let's have a chat) 16:30, August 1, 2011 (UTC)- Cut, per your suggestion. ~Savage 18:02, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

- I'm not quite sure how to source the last line of BTS. It's obvious, but I can't find any source that explicitly says "this is a hockey stick." Suggestions? ~Savage 02:17, August 1, 2011 (UTC)
